April 5: What is the "truth" in Of Mice and Men?
What I found about truth, in Of Mice and Men, is that the truth is often ignored. The major example of that is in Lennie. The truth about Lennie is that, although he meant no harm, he often hurt or killed the things that liked. George knew that he didn't mean to hurt the things, and therefore denied the fact that Lennie would ever hurt anything more than a mouse. In the end, the truth of Lennie was reveiled when Lennie ended up killing a woman. This made me realize that even if you ignore the truth, the truth will show itself in the end.
April 5: What is the "truth" inGreat Expectations?
After reading Great Expectations, I found that what you think is the truth is often misleading. I noticed this in the book when Pip thinks that he knows who his supplier of riches is. He automatically asumes that Miss Havisham is his supplier and is convinced that this is the truth. Because he thinks that this is the truth, Pip also thinks that he and Estella are meant to be together. In the end, what Pip thought of to be the truth, ended up being false. This shows that what we believe as being the truth, may not in fact be the truth.
April 5: What is the "truth" in To Kill a Mockingbird?
At the end of the To Kill a Mockingbird unit, the truth I realized is that what one person may view as the truth, another person may view as being false. Throughout the book, a major example of this was how different people viewed the truth of racism. On one hand, characters like Scout, Jem, and Atticus thought that the truth of racism was that it was a horrid and unnecessary thing. On the other hand, characters such as Bob and Mayella Ewell thought that the truth of racism was that it is the right path to follow. That felt that the people they were racist to deserved it. This shows that a single topic can be viewed as being true or false depending on who is looking at it.
November 18: What is the "truth" in Lord of the Flies?
After reading Lord of the Flies, I feel that what people believe is truthful is different depending upon the people that are arround you. If you are around very proper people then you may have a higher standard for what is acceptable for the truth. However if you are in the wild, like the boys in the book, then it can overcome you and you may think that things that were unacceptable for the truth are no accepted as being alright. The people you surround yourself with dictate how flexible you are with what you consider to be the truth.
October 6: What is the "truth" of mythology?
The truth that I have learned from our investigations on mythology is that there is never one definite truth in mythology. Every culture we studied had different variations, although some were similar, of what they believed is true about something. At this point I think that there is no real truth about mythology because not all cultures can come to a consensus about what they believe is true in the world. I believe that truth, at least in the case of mythology, is purely the person's opinion and not a solid fact.
